A superb example of a Guyana! The colorful blushing and saddle pattern are top-notch...

Thanks Doug!
How are those Guatemalan milks (L.t. abnorma)? Any breeding attempts? I have been watching that pair closely. Best of luck with them and hope you will include me on your waiting list. I just recently hatched some Colombian milks that I acquired from Bill Lamour a while back in 2007. Whether they are intergrades or not..... I guess will never know.

Full body shot....

Take care!

Sure thing!. Well, my L.t.abnorma are only 2011 animals, so it will be a good while until they are bred, but I will certainly keep you updated on them. Shoot me a PM if you like.

Glad you also like those killer true-blue central highlands Guatemalan abnorma. They are simply as genuine and authentic as they come, and I even got the ultimate best pair of the clutch (yuk-yuk)..

Very nice Colombian milks you produced there! Yes, they are definitely intergrade micropholis x andesiana due to the very high red body ring (RBR) counts (per andesiana). The lower ring-count individuals do key-out and would pass as very high RBR count micropholis, as was Scott Ballard's pair (17 RBR as I recall) back when they were first offered, but there are MANY others that the ring-counts are just simply off the charts too high for keying-out as micropholis (10 to 18 RBR, average mean 13.8), and are well into the 20's (andesiana: 24-37, average mean 30.7). I also know the entire story/history on them and all the people involved. They are very nice South American milks, but definitely andesiana x micropholis. Just for giggles, It would be interesting to see what the dorsal scale row counts at mid-body are on all of yours as well(andesiana 19 scale rows, micropholis usually 21 scale rows).

Shoot me a PM if you'd like......

cheers, ~Doug

Beautiful! That should stay nice and light well into adulthood unlike the purple guyana's I see posted every so often.
